Righteous Living

Police officers died to protect us and our laws. Veterans died to protect us and our constitution. Christ died to protect us and God's Law. Why should we let His atoning death go to waste? Christ came to free us from our sins, not in our sins. 1 Peter 1:16 "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." Were are called to be holy and righteous, not corruptible and sinful. To the woman caught in adultery Christ told her to "go, and sin no more." - John 8:11

Also, in James 4:4 it states "whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." Why is it that in Titus 2:11-12 tell us "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;" Scripture clearly tells us we have grace to resist things of this world and that we are called to live righteously and godly, yet we say we can't because it's too hard when it clearly says we can... The bible tells us how to live upright, yet we choose not to....

We are called to live in righteousness, to be a friend of Christ and to have our unwavering faith in Christ. To be a friend of the world, to love sin, to be an enemy of God is something I want for nobody. His wrath is great but His grace is greater. Turn to Christ for all things, in happiness and sadness, in joy and in pain, turn from breaking His laws and put your faith in Christ.

We can all be a friend of the world and an enemy of God but who has it in them to be a friend of God and an enemy of the world... Christ died a brutal and savage death and rose on the 3rd day so that we might die to sin and flesh and live and be risen in spirit with Him.

Deny your flesh and your desires and live for Christ and Him. He died for us so why should we live to please ourselves?

Live to please the One who reigns in us, not the one who reigns in the world.

I think your taking things way to over board and that you need to lay off other peoples beliefs. Im sure you have sined many times and so has everyone else. And I think gay marriage is fine if thats what makes them happy then good everyone deserves to be happy in life so let them be.

That's the way it is. Homosexuality is sin according to Scripture and we need to address it with as much severeness as murder, stealing, or making God to fit your own image. If you claim Christianity and are saying some sins are ok and the Bible tells differently, you are breaking the 2nd commandment... Your making God out to fit the sins of the people when we should just turn from sin and put faith in Christ to change our hearts and lives and conform us to His will and righteousness...

Homosexuality is nothing at all like murder. And you have had sex with girls that arent over 18 so are you going to hell for rapeing them? Maybe you should worry about your own stuff and let others live there life the way they want to. Some people dont even care about God or belive in him and if thats what they want to belive then let them. How do you know hes even real? Have you seen him? Cause ive seen pictures of black Gods white gods so who says hes real?

My conscience bears witness with His and I know I'm a child of Christ. I have faith and I know He is real because He has shown Himself true in my life. That was back when I was of the world. My heart has been regenerated and I'm sure.
